<h2>Trip Tips</h2>
    
    <p>The most important travel tip is to be  organised before you go. Get your <a href="/travel_insurance/">insurance</a>,  documentation, visas and any travel vaccinations you may need in order. Vaccinations especially have to be started  months before your departure so make sure you book them well in advance or you  might not be able to travel at all. </p>
    <p>Familiarise yourself with local customs and  cultures so you don&rsquo;t appear disrespectful or stand out as a tourist. Make sure you have the correct currency for  your destination (you may need to order this from your bank) and check that  your cards will work when abroad.  Signing up for internet banking might also be a good idea as ATMs  usually won&rsquo;t display your balance when away.</p>
    <p>When it comes to airline travel, be  prepared for security at the airport, ensure all carry-on liquids are in an  approved size container and fit into a zip-lock bag. If you don&rsquo;t, it could all be confiscated and  won&rsquo;t be returned.</p>
    <p>When you get there, make use of safes or  lockers in your accommodation. Don&rsquo;t  bring your passport, expensive jewellery or large sums of cash out with you,  popular tourist spots are nearly always rife with pick-pockets. </p>
